SharkHD430 FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System, Powerful Hair Dryer Brush & Multi-Styler with Auto-Wrap Curlers, Paddle Brush, Oval Brush, Concentrator Attachment, Stone

Just got this today. Initial review-- Dries hair FAST, I have very fine hair but a LOT of it, and this dried my hair in maybe half the time of a regular dryer- I dried my hair on the next to lowest heat setting- it didn’t burn my head at all but was still very effective at drying- I used the curling rods (comes with 2, one for left side and one for right side of head) and was pretty pleased with how easy they were to figure outSee attached photos- for context, I used no products in my hair to combat frizz or add volume, etc. Had just washed my hair and was excited to test this out. Blow dried my hair until it was about 85% dry, and then grabbed a few sections to test the curling rods. I literally half-a**ed this and only curled a small number of sections in my hair, so just know that if you spend more than literally 6 minutes curling your hair with this, I think it’ll look ten times as good.This thing isn’t too heavy, and the attachments are very easy to switch out (they do have a locking mechanism so they don’t fall out while you’re using them). A lot of people have commented on the volume, but honestly- it doesn’t sound any louder to me than a typical blow dryer? The noise is slightly more high pitched than a normal dryer, so maybe that’s what people don’t like, but after 5 seconds of using it the sound literally became white noise to me. Honestly, I think it’s quieter than most hotel dryers.My one complaint isn’t really a complaint, I just didn’t read and realize that there’s a different curling wand for each side of the head. So you’ll basically curl one side of your head, then swap out the rod and curl the other side. I kind of wish it was just one rod to do the whole head, but with how they’re designed that wouldn’t work (unless you didn’t care about which way the curls face.) Each rod is clearly marked on the end with an L or an R so there’s no guesswork.As someone who loves to have nice hair but is infinitely lazy and unskilled with a curling iron or round brush, this seems like it was very well worth the purchase for me. If you’re already a pro at doing hair, you might not get as much use out of this set, but for me I’m very happy with the purchase.I chose this over the dyson because of the price point, but also because I’ve owned other products (vacuums lol) from each brand and I’ve found Shark products to be more reliable and dependable than Dyson stuff.Update: two weeks in and I’m loving this. Surprisingly, my favorite attachment is the round brush. It’s so easy to use that with the dryer to dry my hair and give it volume so my roots aren’t so flat. This thing also travels well- when you straighten out the dryer barrel, this was super easy for me to fit in my carry on bag and then I just threw the paddle brush attachment in my backpack. Easy peasy and I was able to use it to keep my hair looking full and lovely on a long weekend trip to the lake. Very happy with this purchase.Edit 2- 2 month update. I freaking love this thing. I actually don’t use the curling wands very often- I’ve been using both brush options to get volume and even curls in my hair. I’ve never been skilled (or patient) at doing my hair but this thing has been pretty much a game changer for me. Walked out of the house the other day looking like I had just gotten my hair professionally done, felt like a goddess.

The media could not be loaded. I have had the Shark hair dryer for almost a year now. I cannot tell you how much I love this hair dryer - its beautiful - saves time - I plan on keeping this thing for years to come. The second I started using it, I started getting more compliments on my hair.This thing is heavy duty and feels like an appliance! You know it's going to last for a long time, has a lot of power, and is FUNCTIONAL!Pros:Easy to use - attachments are easy to lock into place and feels secure while in useSuper quick drying time - it cut my already short drying time in halfAdds tons of volume while smooths my fine hairHeavy dutyThe settings!!! Hot gets hot and the cold shot actually is coldThe curls stay in - I REPEAT - THE CURLS STAY INSpace saver - it's only hot tool I use - no more curing irons or straightners necessaryMy hair feels and looks healthierIt's beautiful! But I love black and rose goldCons..... it's a little heavy? But you get used to it.Years ago when Shark and Dyson debuted with thir hair dryers, I bought knock off with all of the same attachments - it's attachment locking mechanism broke within a week. Because the locking mechanism broke, I got spooked on this type of hair dryer and went on using versions of and including the L'ange le volume. Then I used the brand name Dyson for a week straight while on vacation with my sister. I brought my l'ange with me, but loved her Dyson. So for 2 months, I debated back and forth between buying the Dyson and buying the Shark. There were some features on the Dyson that I didnt really like (the texture of the handle, for example). So! I decided to take the leap and purchase this.After the years of debating and thinking about it after I saw the first ads when it came originally came out onto the market, I would have saved myself so much time, hassle, frustration, and MONEY over the years had I just bought this hair dryer in the first place.Please - Just save yourself the bad hair days, mental torture, and money... I promise it's worth it.

I’ve been loving my Shark FlexStyle! It’s lightweight, powerful, and versatile — perfect for both straight and curly styles. What really impressed me was how well it works for curling. At first, I struggled to get the curls to hold for more than a day, but I finally figured it out!The key is to slightly dampen the section of hair before applying mousse — when I tried applying mousse to dry hair, the curls wouldn’t last. But once I started misting the section with a little water, then adding mousse and curling with the Shark FlexStyle, the curls held beautifully for over a day!Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a multifunctional styling tool. It dries quickly without causing heat damage and leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy. Definitely worth it!
